Hawk 34

The show should start with McMahon coming out and announcing the winner of Umaga/HHH will face Orton for the title tonight and Kennedy comes out to protest. McMahon agrees that Kennedy should get a title shot but just as he says that, Jeff Hardy comes out and says he'd be glad to give Kennedy a title shot, the IC title and after beating Kennedy, he should be the rightful #1 contender. McMahon agrees to the impromptu match and declares whomever wins will get the first title shot at whomever is the new champion. Hardy/Kennedy opens the show (it needs more filler anyways). Umaga/HHH goes to a bloody non-finish to set up the return gimmick at CS and leaves the main event open with just Orton. Whomever WWE decides to go with, Jericho or Hardy, comes out and stuns Orton for the win. McMahon shouldn't know Jericho is back. The only way I see Orton winning the title tonight is if they just make it a routine 4 way and Hardy eats the RKO.

I'll say it's down to Orton/Jericho/Hardy/No one. HHH's title win will get hyped and built probably for WM, Umaga has no chance, Kennedy is in the first class dog house, Punk isn't top shelf enough to get the main title and a hometown pop isn't enough, Undertaker is slated for the World title, Flair isn't happening.

USE YOUR WEAPONS! AIM! FIRE!

Maybe Tiki isn't as great as Tiki thought he was.

Comparing Striker to Race is worse then the Viscera:Vader comparison. I know what you're going but it just isn't right.

Of all the teams to give NE a scare or even outright threaten, it's Cleveland.

WWE could be wiped out by injuries and left with Holly, Dykstra and Pat Patterson and they still wouldn't phone Lesnar. JBL's return will probably be built up most likely against Mysterio.

How the fuck does Hawaii rank ahead of Cincinnati?

Trent Green took an ugly hit and appears to have another severe concussion. He never should have come back in the first place and this is why.

BDV has been chasing Punk down for awhile. He wasn't suddenly thrown in.

If the 4-Way does happen, only Orton and Hardy would be winners. HHH would want his title win to be built and hyped. CS is just around the corner which is a decent length for Hardy to carry the belt. If Hardy wins, Umaga eats the pin and if that happens, HHH and Orton are probably nowhere near the fall. If Jericho isn't involved with the main event, how (if at all) does he appear tonight? The only other scenario I can envision is interupting a Kennedy promo and setting a program with them.

Who thinks we'll see a skit with McMahon walking in the back and people are in a line making pleas for a title shot resulting in "comedic" moments? I still think if they are going to do the Jericho deal, McMahon needs to start the show by announcing that Umaga/HHH winner will face Orton later that night to determine the new champion with HHH/Umaga going to a bloody non-finish to set up the gimmick rematch at CS. Orton assumes he's just going to be handed the title and Jericho makes his shocking return and title victory. They should also add Hardy/Kennedy to show if Hardy isn't involved in the main event. Just have Kennedy throw a fit that he isn't getting a title shot and Jeff comes out and puts the title on the line. Hardy shouldn't be off the card and the show needs an extra match anyways. I'm still putting stock in the 4 way with Orton/Hardy/HHH/Umaga.

I think he died of shock.

This is a career?

He's booked for the Misawa shows in November.

Impossible. In case you hadn't noticed, my gloating isn't about the Phillies losing. It's more about mocking UTSU and his obnoxious posts from the last week of the season. Get a clue, Hawk 3,240,500. No, actually it's your fellow Mets cheerleader, SJR, who has led the parade tonight.

I don't even know who you are but I do know the Mets cheer section of this board reached a rather pathetic level tonight.

Are there ANY Rockies/Backs/Indians fans around these parts? It'll be a quiet post season from here on out. Although the Mets fans will probably make irrational and poorly executed shots at the Red Sox for no discernible reason.

I'm still trying to figure out why Mets fans are so happy. Your team couldn't even handle a 7 game lead. They would have been swept out as well. They can give a ring to anyone they want.

I don't think RVD is. I don't recall him winning the European title, and it's not oin WWE's title history. Not a big deal, just curious if maybe I forgot something, as I'm prone to doing. He won IC, Tag, World and Hardcore. He meets the 4 titles held mandate.

Michigan will fuck it all up and throw everything into a gigantic mess.

Despite a HORRIBLE start, I actually salvaged not just a win but a fairly good day.

Cincy slams the door shut on Rutgers, well not quite but it's only open a small crack.

I'm feelin the pressure this weekend.. need Rutgers to come back to win and Florida to hang on. I've conceded the Nebraska game Well, I hope you lose.

Well, LSU isn't laying down. I'll give them that much.
